NIST Updates Cybersecurity Framework, Calls for More Feedback

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s
(NIST) Cybersecurity Framework was published in 2014, following a collaborative effort
between industry, academia and government agencies, seeking to improve critical
infrastructure. NIST Jan. 10 issued an update
to the framework and also called for more public feedback on the update.

The draft update incorporates comments from a previous request
for feedback
and adds details on managing “cyber supply chain risks,” clarifies terms and
introduces “measurement methods for cybersecurity,” NIST said in a statement. “The
original goal was to develop a voluntary framework to help organizations manage
cybersecurity risk in the nation’s critical infrastructure, such as bridges and
the electric power grid, but the framework has been widely adopted by many
types of organizations across the country and around the world,” NIST said.

The voluntary framework is often touted as a good standard
to follow and is mentioned in various government memos, including a recent
Office of Management and Budget memorandum
that embraced a risk-based approach to data breach preparation for federal
agencies. In September, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker said a recent
cybersecurity recommendation by the Federal Communications Commission applied NIST’s
Cybersecurity Framework to establish a mechanism where companies can
voluntarily engage with regulators in a setting that would allow companies to
share information that cannot be used against them.
